Deepwater Start The deepwater start is necessary to the knee boarder beginner. The following are some steps on how to do it correctly. 1) Put the strap in loosest position and make sure it is at the front of the knee pad. 2) Lie on your stomach on the board with your hands in the palms-down grip. 3) Signal the boat driver to take the speed up slow. When the board begins to plane, start to pull your knees onto the knee pad. 4) Slowly slide or crawl on your knees until they reach the normal…

there are more sports for them to play while they are in the swimming pool? We could do surfing in the pool, basketball, football. The schools that have swimming as a sport should make it to where they can be able to play sports while swimming because they can get more people to join, get fit, and that the kids may get too competitive. Altho it would probably be hard to do football in the pool, we could get way more kids to start swimming. When the kids are playing football, basketball,…

They say that high school is about opening doors, exploring your opportunities and expanding your horizons, so as an optimistic freshman, terrified of joining a new school and hoping to find a place where I would belong, I joined the most obvious, extremely popular activity: water polo. Me, the girl who has not participated in organized sports since my soccer team in second grade. Me, the girl who had not been in a pool since I was pronounced a “Guppy” at the Y when I was seven years old. Me,…

Sharks swim faster because of their special skin. Through the learning of this, we created artificial human “shark skin” swimsuits to enhance our performance at water sports such as swimming. This innovation has not worked very effectively. According to the article, Shark Skin Boosts Swim Speed and Cuts Drag by Adrian Bishop it states, “Shark skin is coated in sharp scales, similar to teeth, called dermal denticles (or (placoid scales) that affect the flow of water to reduce drag and increase…

My Swimming Story Swimming never fails to appeal to me. I grew up swimming and had continuous year-round swim workouts and competitions. Being born and raised in China, I started my swim career in an elementary school. Since then, I swam through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. It could not be denied that my hard work paid off since I managed to obtain lots of medals and broke multiple local records. What’s more valuable was that I became the team captain in my…

conversation with my new coach, Brian Crawford, about possible schools I could swim for in college. He advised me with many great options, but when he mentioned Assumption, I couldn’t take him seriously. I told him that I wasn’t of that caliber of swimming, but he refused. He simply told me to keep up the good work, because it would pay off in the end. Time flew by, and soon enough, I was visiting Assumption for an official tour. I had the opportunity to meet swim coach Stuart Cromarty. After…

age of 13, and that was my ability to swim long distance races. The first time I swam one of these, I broke a team record and I knew this was the path to go down. But through the talent I soon came to find, nerves started to set in. The thought of swimming for fifteen minutes straight at high intensity scared me. What if I wasn’t to do well? All of that work for nothing? What are my friends or other competitors thinking of me? This started a long trend of me getting nervous before races. My…

felt like I would be sick. Scuba diving taught me that I need to calm down and not worry so much. My parents had been planning a trip to Italy and asked me if I wanted to go scuba diving. I answered so fast as I thought about being under water and swimming with all the beautiful fish and aquatic life. My parents had researched for a guy for me and my brothers to take lessons with. A few days later my dad brought us a book and told…

with my opponent, the only thing in my way from wining the water. Then the final whistle noise, hit my ear and boom I jump with all my might and I hit the water the ice cold water hard. While I jumped I said to myself “it’s ShowTime”. Then I started swimming I could feel my hand and legs moving across the water violently. The only thing I could hear was the loud and deadly sound of my kicking. Then come the flip best place to screw up if you don’t hit it correctly. When I hit the wall I could…

sometimes three, hours the situation will only worsen as I repeatedly raise my arms above my head and pull back as hard as possible. Weeks of this pass by, all for the sake of being able to travel through 100 meters of water a few milliseconds faster. Swimming has been my primary sport since the age of eight. The aforementioned training regime was a necessary price to pay if I ever hoped to improve and outperform peers, and I stayed dedicated to it from the beginning. Because of this, I grew…
